POST UPDATE: ANOTHER PAINTING  I know I have shared this painting before, but in the meantime I decided that it is not really finished, hence I  added a few finishing touching. Here is my final version. Maybe. Who knows? Perhaps I will decided that I need to fix it up again. I quite like this face. It looks friendly. Interesting how some paintings seem to have a life of their own. Speaking of which.... How has life treating you lately? I still haven't gave up on multitasking while I'm drying my hair (because my hair is so thick I need to kill time). Remember how I told you how  I accidentally dropped a book in the sink while I was drying my hair ( here )? Fortunately, the book had solid covers, so it wasn't damaged.  Tonight I did it again, just without dropping the book.

Basically, I didn't managed to read his unfinished writings, perhaps because I don't really like unfinished literary pieces- it feels too much like a teaser.

If you want something to fit perfectly, paying a visit to seamstress might be a good idea. That is how I ended up with this lovely suit. Black suit is a good investment. Not only is it easy to dress it up or down, it is also something you can wear to just about any occasion. It works well in all seasons. When Winter comes, all you have to do is throw a coat over your suit and you're all set to go. When it gets cold, it doesn't hurt to layer one's outfit.
